Biggest opportunity: Add “state” to your wp.org tags. You rank #19 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 299.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,185 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 11 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Después de haber gastado mi dinero en un plugin que solo dio problemas y nunca hizo los cálculos exactos como debía, he encontrado este que hace exactamente lo que necesito ya que mis paquetes tienen diferentes precios por tamaño y peso. Este plugin lo hace de maravilla con una regla sencilla. Nada que decir, funciona perfecto; no he tenido ningún inconveniente con las reglas y lo mejor de todo es que es gratuitooo… los amo. Gracias

Carga absolutamente todo aunque no sea necesario, afectando al rendimiento del site. Deberían revisar el código para cargar lo necesario cuando sea necesario y no absolutamente todo en cada peticiónHola,En relación a este comentario:https://wordpress.org/support/topic/necesita-mejorar/ Perdonad que no había visto esta respuesta…El problema parece estar en la carga de terms. Se hace una carga completa de todos los terms y ,en sites en los que hay muchos, las peticiones se incrementan hasta las 5 segundos (o más). El problema principal es que parece hacerse esta carga en cada petición y no sólo cuando es necesario.Un saludo y perdón de nuevo por no ver la respuesta… This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by javigodoy.

Last update added an free shipping option country wide without previous warning, had to cancel several sales because of it. It really shouldn´t add this kind of feature on it´s own// Hizo una actualizacion que agrego la opcion de envio gratuito a todo el pais sin advertencia y sin gestionarlo por nuestra parte, tuvimos que cancelar varias ventas debido a esto por el costo que supone, no deberia añadir opciones de este tipo por su cuenta ——- EDITED FOR SOLUTION, IT WAS A WORDPRESS UPDATE PROBLEM , NOT THE PLUGIN Great assistance by the developers in this particular problem, it was a wordress issue rather than a flaw of the plugin, beware of it in the last updates from august 2022// EDITADO POR SOLUCION, FUE UN PROBLEMA DE ACTUALIZACION DE WORDPRESS Agradezco la asistencia en este problema particular, fue un problema de actualizacion de wordpress y no del pluggin, si instalan las actualizaciones de wordpress de agosto de 2022 es posible que tengan el problema por esa razon This topic was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by lacasa2022.

He encontrado en este plugin un aliado perfecto para gestionar diferentes estrategias de envío en woocommerce. En mi caso me permitió unificar y calcular envíos por peso + envíos por cantidad. Además el plugin tiene un desarrollo de varios años y recibe actualizaciones con cierta regularidad.

This plugin was working fine until today, but now, after update, it fails in all areas. When I choose an item in the shopping cart, it only tells me the first weight and amount in the table, it completely ignores the actual weight of the item, as it was doing until today. Everything is well configured, the shipping system by weight is activated, the zones and rates are loaded, the articles have their indicated weight that ranges from 10g to 2 kg, but it does not matter the article or the total weight, you only gives the minimum rate. Does anyone know what is happening? This is my table for Spain: 20 | 4.75 50 | 4.75 100 | 5.50 500 | 8.55 1000 | 8.75 2000 | 12.10 For any purchase only indicates 4.75 euros`

Easy to use and easy to operate! You can pre-arrange the values to be set and paste them. You don’t need to add value items one by one to set. I need to add more than 100 values, which is very convenient for me. You can add a fixed cost of packing and/or handling per shipping! great feature!
